Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox London station Edgware Road is a London Underground station on the Bakerloo line, located in the City of Westminster. It is between Paddington and Marylebone stations on the line and falls within Travelcard zone 1. The station is located on the north-east corner of the junction of Edgware Road, Harrow Road and Marylebone Road. It is adjacent to the Marylebone flyover.
A separate station of the same name but served by the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines is nearby, to the south of Marylebone Road.[note 1]
History
Edgware Road station was opened on 15 June 1907 by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR, now the Bakerloo line) when it extended its line from the temporary northern terminus at Marylebone.Шаблон:Sfn In common with other early stations of the lines owned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, the station was designed by architect Leslie Green with an ox-blood red glazed terracotta façade. The BS&WR had parliamentary approval to continue the line to Paddington station, but the approved route, which curved under the main line station and ended under the junction of Sussex Gardens and Sussex Place on a south-easterly heading, was not suitable for the company's plan to extend west or north-west from Paddington. The BS&WR chose not to construct the tunnels west of Edgware Road whilst it considered alternatives.Шаблон:Sfn
In 1908 the BS&WR considered a joint scheme with the North West London Railway (NWLR) to build a tube line from Edgware Road station to Cricklewood via Kilburn.Шаблон:Sfn The NWLR had obtained permission to build a line along Edgware Road from Cricklewood to Marble Arch in 1899;Шаблон:Sfn although it received approval for an additional section from Marble Arch to Victoria in 1906, it had been unable to raise the money to build the line. The permitted NWLR route passed Edgware Road station and the companies sought permission in November 1908 for a section of tunnel Шаблон:Convert long linking the BS&WR and the NWLR tunnels. To make use of the BS&WR's existing permission for the line to Paddington, Edgware Road station was to be provided with a second pair of platforms to enable the operation of a shuttle service between Paddington and Edgware Road. The scheme was rejected and the line was not built.Шаблон:Sfn
In 1911, permission was received to construct a tightly curved Шаблон:Convert long extension to Paddington which ended heading north-west under the main line station. Work started in August 1911 and the extension opened on 1 December 1913.Шаблон:Sfn[1] When the station opened, its narrow frontage was in a row of shops, but the buildings to the south of the station were demolished in the 1960s to enable the Marylebone flyover to be built, leaving the station as one of two isolated buildings. Originally, an exit from the station was provided in adjacent Bell Street. Although this is no longer used, the building provides office accommodation for the station managers.
In 1983, London Transport proposed to close the station on the basis that the passenger lifts, which at the time were 77 years old, needed to be replaced at a cost of more than £3 million.[2] The proposal was dropped following a request by the GLC for the matter to be reconsidered.[2]
In September 2007, there was a proposal by London Assembly member Murad Qureshi to rename this station Church Street Market, as this would end the confusion between this station and its namesake on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines.[3]
Between 25 May and 21 December 2013, the station closed temporarily for lift maintenance work.[4]
Connections
London Buses routes 6, 16, 18, 98 and night routes N18, N32 and N98 serve the station.[5][6]
